Review: 4frnt hoji

**summit** · 01-24-2023, 09:56 PM

I mean, it is fully reverse camber so that isn't good for ice, but it does fine in the steeps?

Mounting my Pilsner Hojis this week on the rec line.

Trying to decide if I want CAST on the Hojis, or on some new Season Formas I have coming.

Formas would be a bit heavy on the up…but an awesome in untracked pow in mellow terrain.

The reason to not CAST the Hojis is I have Duke PTs on both Ravens and Renegades so not sure I also need Hoji I can walk on . And I think the Hoji would be a great inbounds skis too. I have no problem dealing with ice on my Ravens, which I use a lot inbounds. Ya Hojis are a bit more rockered but don’t think it will be an issue. I frickin’ love rocker.

Anyone with 4-lock version have a weight on the skins? 4frnt website claims that 4-lock skins for raven, hoji and ren all weight "less than 240 g per skin." Obviously that can't be true...

**meter-man** · 01-25-2023, 04:42 PM

Pomoca Free Pro with Hoji 4-lock for 191 Hoji (top): 192g

Pomoca Climb Pro S-Guide for 190 Wildcat 108 (bottom): 302g

I could be wrong but the glide seems relatively similar, and yet the Climb Pro has ~20% better grip and is more resistant to wetting out due to its backing thing tech. Free Pro is light light light.

Perfect, thanks

woohoo- I picked up a new pair of Hoji's (cc's) today on the 4frnt Stash sale. They were floor models, never drilled for $450
I would have preferred the men's version because of the wolf on the top sheet, but those were sold out and there were only 1 set of the 177's left of the Hoji cc's so I pulled the trigger.
It's been 5 of so seasons on those other hoji's so I was due for a fresh set

You’re going to love the new one. They’re awesome.

Skied my 2023 184cm Pilsner Hojis today for the first time. I’m mounted on Hojis’s rec with Pivot 15s. Perfect.

Conditions were pow….25cm of new but it was way deeper in wind blown stashes.

Last time I skied Hojis was my 2013 187cm Pilsners back in 2015.

Conclusion: Everyone should own a Hoji. Fuck they are so good in pow, so good in wind blown pow, so good in chalky steeps….and they don’t suck everywhere else. You will have fun and you will ski fast.

West Bowl was pretty deep in spots today….on the 2023 Hojis:

Does that mean you mounted on the dimple, or did you use the the whole thing about toe at 290 and heel where it needs to go, or - XXmm for every bsl size over 284, or.........?

Haha. Love it. Skied the Hojis again today. I’m averaging 3-4 comments in the lift lines cause of that topsheet.

More pics coming for you Golden cause I can tell you’re jealous.

The bindings pair perfect with the graphics

**gramboh** · 02-17-2023, 01:43 PM

God I love the Pilsner graphics, and yeah those Looks are perfect. Also banging my head on the desk for not skiing last Friday, doh.

Ya last Friday was dang good. Deep snow and we got ahead of the lines which were not too bad.

I boot packed Flute on Saturday and wow do the Hojis ski well in untracked. Lift line at Symphony getting back was dumb on Sat.

Re the Hoji mount….still loving my 2023 184cm Hojis mounted right on the bump. So I think Hoji absolutely nailed the rec mark on the new Hoji shape. I have a slightly smaller bsl than Hoji, but did not go forward per the old formula. The rec bump feels perfect.

PS I’ve taken to throwing one of these in my pack on Pilsner Hoji days. Just feels right.

I'm loving my new hojis.
They were perfect before and now I feel like they're even a bit better.
Ever so slightly more nimble and also carve a bit better on the groomers than my last version

So sweet. Good idea to have an inbounds Hoji and a touring Hoji.

The more I ski my 4FRNT Ravens and Hojis the more I don’t want to ski my other skis. The Ravens and Hojis is all I’ve been skiing on our Powder Hwy trip. From chalky to 20 cm new.

This was this morning in Fernie. Drinking coffee sitting on the tailgate of my truck. Before skiing fresh pow. Love this view.
